Absence of TeV halos around millisecond pulsars

Extended gamma-ray emissions in the TeV range are typically associated with middle-aged isolated pulsars. The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) collaboration finds negative evidence for the hypothesis that millisecond pulsars (MSPs) also source TeV halos. The authors conclude that while MSPs contribute to gamma-ray emissions in the GeV range, isolated pulsars are the likely primary source of TeV halos and comment on the implications for the Galactic Center gamma-ray excess and the Galactic diffuse emission.

Abstract

Extended gamma-ray emissions in the TeV range are typically associated with middle-aged isolated pulsars. The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) collaboration finds negative evidence for the hypothesis that millisecond pulsars (MSPs) also source TeV halos. The authors conclude that while MSPs contribute to gamma-ray emissions in the GeV range, isolated pulsars are the likely primary source of TeV halos and comment on the implications for the Galactic Center gamma-ray excess and the Galactic diffuse emission.
